Needless to say that setting up Light Weight X environment on Fedora 20 cloud instances is very important for comfortable work in VM's environment, for instance on Ubuntu Trusty cloud server just one command installs E17 environment `apt-get install xinit e17 firefox`. By some reasons E17 was dropped from official F20 repos and maybe functional only via previous MATE Desktop setup on VM

Successful implementation of Neutron ML2&&OVS&&VLAN multi node setup requires correct version of plugin.ini -> /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini which appears to be generated with errors by packstack. Several days playing with plugin.ini allowed me to build properly working system

Two boxes have been setup , each one having 2 NICs (p37p1,p4p1) for
Controller && Compute Nodes setup. Before running
`packstack
--answer-file= TwoRealNode Neutron ML2&OVS&VLAN.txt`
SELINUX set to permissive on both
nodes.Both p4p1's assigned IPs and set to promiscuous mode
(192.168.0.127, 192.168.0.137 ). Services firewalld and NetworkManager
disabled, IPv4 firewall with iptables and service network are enabled
and running. Packstack is bind to public IP of interface p37p1
192.169.1.127, Compute Node is 192.169.1.137 ( view answer-file ).

Two KVMs have been created , each one having 2 virtual NICs (eth0,eth1) for
Controller
&& Compute Nodes setup. Before running `packstack
--answer-file= TwoNodeML2&OVS&VLAN.txt` SELINUX set to permissive on both
nodes.
Both eth1's assigned IPs from VLAN Libvirts subnet before installation and set
to promiscuous mode (192.168.122.127, 192.168.122.137 ). Packstack bind to
public IP - eth0 192.169.142.127 , Compute Node 192.169.142.137

Two boxes have been setup , each one having 2 NICs (p37p1,p4p1) for
Controller && Compute Nodes setup. Before running
`packstack
--answer-file= TwoNodeML2&OVS&GRE.txt`
SELINUX set to permissive on both
nodes.Both p4p1's assigned IPs and set to support GRE tunnel
(192.168.0.127, 192.168.0.137 ) between Controller and Compute Nodes. Services firewalld and NetworkManager
disabled (after packstack completion), IPv4 firewall with iptables and service network are enabled
and running. Packstack is bind to public IP of interface p37p1
192.169.1.127, Compute Node is 192.169.1.137 ( view answer-file ).
